About the role
You'll run our Forrestdale front desk and back up the ops and admin teams. One hour you might be greeting a driver or contractor. The next you could be updating rego and compliance records, sorting leave requests or helping organise a company event.

This role suits someone who wants more than answering phones. You'll work closely with the people running our fleet, customers and staff, so you'll learn how the whole business works. If you're keen and reliable, there's room to take on more and grow into areas like operations support and HR admin.

You'll need to read the room, spot where help is needed and jump in without being asked. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

• Running reception, answering calls and greeting visitors, contractors and drivers

• Managing the enquiries inbox and getting each enquiry to the right person

• Keeping customer, supplier, vehicle registration and compliance records up to date

• Handling mail, couriers, filing, scanning and archiving

• Ordering supplies and organising office maintenance, servicing and cleaning

• Helping plan company events

• Pitching in on whatever the ops and admin teams need on the day

What you'll bring

• 2 to 3 years in reception, admin or office support
• Transport, logistics or industrial experience (a plus, not a must)
• A friendly, professional manner on the phone and in person
• Good attention to detail and the ability to juggle priorities
• Confidence with Microsoft Office, multi-line phones and data entry
• Discretion with confidential information
• Initiative: you see what needs doing and get on with it
• A current driver's licence

What you'll get

• $50,000 to $70,000 pa (depending on experience) + Super
• Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 5:00pm
• Parking, Training & Uniforms
• Real exposure to every part of the business, and support to keep learning
• A down-to-earth team that works together to get the job done
